Do they even have experience with and knowledge about breeding, genetics, and behavior? Interesting topic, Tim.
ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! It only stands to reason that Opportunists see this phenom and have jumped onto the bandwagon. It doesn't take a Genetic Genius to buy a Poodle and Lab and put them in a pen together for a week, The rest is easy... just have enough brains to feed them and care for them decently. Place your ad in a Newspaper and/or Pet forums and hey... you're a BREEDER!!!
